I do not forget "god". I am positive that he or it is more than i understand, I feel it better in myself to think of god as love...because he is. not
a man with a bald head, long white beard, and white robe up on a cloud. He is much more than that three dimensional idealization. He is within all of
us. There is neither good nor bad, but a lesson for the learning.

Veda describes many qualities of God; one being formless - means God does not resemble any human or animal or a physical object (like a stone).

God is also described as all pervading; means God is present everywhere. God's power is working in the entire universe and outside too.

I do not know what you mean by "love". If you are referring to kindness; yes. God has been kind to souls; has given souls a place to live and bodies
in which soul can perform actions. However God does not pardon any sins. God is just and same punishment is applied to all souls, there are no
exceptions.

Some religions have concept of "atonement". Veda tells us to perform actions as per God's laws; live as per God's will. Pious acts slowly diminish
the effect of sins.

This does not make sense unless you don't use your brain for thinking (literally), information in the brain requires biochemical processes, let alone
the processing of using any of the, well, known senses.

Hindus believing in reincarnation is not same as a small girl talking about her family in previous life. That does not happen. It is a very rare
occurrence.

An outsider may think that such story may be commonplace in India - but that is not true.

My point is a soul may remember previous life due a a very special set of circumstances. A soul is not supposed to remember previous life. The God's
powers suppress such memories at the time of birth. A Yogi can see all his previous lives - but that is a different topic.

Just think of the ridicule society lobs at people who get up the courage to reveal information such as this, especially if there is no one left to
substantiate what they are saying. I'm willing to bet that there are a plethora of cases out there that can be proven, yet people stay silent out of
fear.

demons can give information to people at the speed of light. It may also be possible there is a scientific reason for this that's not yet
understood.. perhaps some form of genetic memory passed down through generations. Either way, there is no way to prove this is reincarnation or
something else.

Jesus Christ. Does everything have to be demons. Also if you read the op and comprehended what was being said try would know genetic memory can only
work if they were blood related which they were not.

And incidentaly there is nothing to prove jesus existed or any other fairy tale in the bible. At least this story happened less than 100 yrs ago not
2000 yrs.

Please, enlighten to me as to how this proves anything. It doesn't. It's an interesting story, but that's it. There are many child-actors,
and many of them are/were acting quite professionally at the age of 9 and even younger. Show me some solid scientific data or it's just hocus-pocus
bull#. If you need to take someone's word as evidence/proof, then quite simply put, there is NO proof.

Edit: Furthermore, I fail to see how Mahatma Gandhi's involvement makes this any more legitimate. I guess racism against black people is legitimate
too then, since he was an avid bigot in South Africa in his 20's.

Reminds me of Kumare. It looks real. It feels real. It's spiritual... And most importantly, it's bull# that requires people who can be deceived by
a magical worldview to believe.

what you are referring to my friend, is Omnicient, Omnipotent, Omnipresent, and eternal. This video is very logical in its thinking. I know that god
is more than that.God binds every cell and and every quark together.

Shanti Devi explicitly mentions seeing Krishna, a Hindu deity, during her alleged interval in an afterlife situation between when she claims to have
died previously and before her rebirth as Shanti.

Whenever somebody brings up a terrestrial religious figure in an account of an afterlife it calls it into question immediately to me. I do not
believe there is any more evidence this Krishna figure ever existed than there is for western religious figures like Jesus.

I won't completely dismiss this account. Shanti may have been too influenced by her previous terrestrial life and misidentified somebody or something
else she saw in this alleged afterlife as Krishna, or I may be completely wrong and Krishna may truly exist.

However as a result her account does not do much for me. I prefer the reincarnation story of Arthur Flowerdew who claimed to have lived in the
ancient city of Petra in a previous existence. I don't recall his story mentioning specific deities. He just claimed to have been alive once and
then alive again. Although even his story lacks anything regarding physical proof. Its about as good as I've found for the subject.

When you start attacking the person, and then start demanding physical evidence for something that clearly would transcend all that is physical, it's
clear that your argument is weak. No offense.

Especially when you bring up supposed racism of Mahatma Gandhi (guess what? The only evidence we have that he was racist came from anecdotal accounts
which mainly come from people with a grudge against him, and even if he WAS racist, you must have missed the fact that most people back then were
racist to some varying degrees). You bring it up to discredit a highly spiritual man who helped changed India and gave men like Martin Luther King Jr.
the impetus to peacefully resist a failing system of racism and segregation? Just what have you done, sir?

Oh that's right. You're on a thread using a comedy documentary to suggest that all spirituality is bogus, with an avatar where you put Carl Sagan's
face over Jesus's.

Congratulations, I'm sure you've made the world an incrementally better place.
